Package: xmms2-client-cli
Version: 0.5DrLecter-2
Severity: minor

Hi,
common unix convention for CLI programs is being silent for successful
operations, and being verbose on errors. xmms2 gets both wrong:

$ ls some.ogg doesnotexist.ogg
ls: cannot access doesnotexist.ogg: No such file or directory
some.ogg
$ xmms2 add some.ogg doesnotexist.ogg
Added some.ogg
ERROR: Invalid url
$ 

It should not mention the successful add of some.ogg at all (IMHO), and
provide the filename/URL of doesnotexist.ogg in the error message.
Both is particularly annoying when adding multiple files via find(1).
Thanks for considering,
    Jan
